PERSIAN SHERBET.
The Various Dainty Substances Use' Its
Preparation.


The beverage in Persia = sherbet,
which is plentifully supplied, and Of
which there are many varieties from
the bowl of water with sruecze Of
lemon to the clear concentri ed juice
of any sort of fruit to which water is
added to dilute it, Preparing sherbet,
which is done with the greatest care, is
a very important point in so thirsty u
country as Persia, and one upon which
much time is devoted. Itmay be either
expressed from the juice of fruit freshly
gathered or from the preserved extract
of pomegranates, cherries or lemons,
mixed with sugar, and submitted to q
certain degree of heat to preserve it for
winter consumption. Another sherbet
Is much drank, weich l must not omit
to mention, called guzaagebden, made
from the honey of the tamarisk tree.
This honey is not the work of the bee,
but the produce Of q small insect on
worm living In vast numbers under the
leaves of the shrub. During the
months of August and September the
insect IL collected and the honey pre-
served. When used for sherhet ii Is
mixed with vinegar, and although not
80 delicious as that made from fruit. 1t
makes an excellent temperance bever-
age. Only among therich and fashion,
able are glasses used; i'm all other classes
sherbet is served in china bowls. and
drank from deep wooden spoons carved
in pearwood. Beigrapia,

Dividing Poultry In small FIocks and Fre-
quentiy Providing New Bsuns-
An English authority. in relation to
keeping poultry on farms. objects 10 the
management there. The same will APP
ply 10 many farms in the United States.
Too many fowls are kept in one flock.
and little attention Is given TO the plain
requirements necessary to success in
the way Of feeding. care. shelter, etc.
The gist Of the whole argument il
below:
The way in which fowls are general
~ kept on farms is not conducive 10

together, and roost IN any shed OF
house. whether suitable or otherwise.
not wanted for other purposes. This
Is q mistaken system. as IL j. much bet
ter 70 divide them into iocks Of fifty
70 one hundred each. and place them
IN different parts Of the farm. The
reason why fowls pay better in this
way can only be attributed TO the
greater purity Of atmosphere in the
rooting-house when few are kept, but
whatever Is the cause II is a fact that
more eggs are laid. the fowls thrive
better and there Is less risk Of disease.
The house can be built Of wood. made
roughly and chcaply. but yet comfort
able for the birds. and can also be
placed upon wheels. 30 as 70 be easily
moved from place to place.
We have seen : capital plan adopted
with great success, namely. giving the
fowls fresh runs every year. and grow
Ing crops on the land last used BY
them. In one instance where this has
been tried vegetables are grown. with
the result that the crops are very
heavy indeed. and disease has been
unknown. We do not see wig grain
or roots could not bc made TO follow
IN the same way. and il may be that
some day poultry will form one Of the
series In the rotation Of crops. By
this means the land would get well
manurcd BY the fowls. and before b.
ing again used for them would BE-
swectcned by the crops grown thereon.
II this way thousands o. fowls could
bc kept In every district, "a the direct
advantage d the producer and 70 the
Indirect benefit Of the people gener.

= 0iinpse - ~ n1sndsons Vome a
Mentor asd Its Oecupsnes-
In five years there have been many
notable changes la the Garfield family.
There have been no deaths. but tho
children Of whom the father was 90
fond have grown up. The two older
boys have begun Z course In the CO.
lumbia College Law School. and Harry,
the elder. has been teaching In some
Eastern school Both are graduates u
Williams College. James r Garfield
has been studying law with Judge
Boynton In Cleyeland. and il looked
upon by friends Of his father y the
son most like him in every way.
He has his fathers size. complexion.
eyes and manner Both sons are now
men, and have, Il IL said. great am
bition. Miss Mollie. the only daughter.
Is now a young woman taller than her
mother, and has about finished her
studies. The two younger sons
Abram and Irwin-the latter named
for General Irwin McDowell-are old
enough to enter a school on the Hud-
son. and left home for their duties
there recently. They had never been
away from home alone before.
Since the preliminary education Of
Abram and Irwin IN the Cleveland
public schools the mother has had no
further desire to live in a city She
has ordered her mansion in Cleveland
sold and has decided to make her
future home in Mentor. She has here
added to the modest frame house Of
her husband Queen Anne structure
which cost $50. 900. 1t is the most inn
posing home IN the country, although
the new part is behind and wholly sub
servient to the old house in which the
President lived. This still remains the
head and front Of the Garfield home,
although remodeled to conform with
the addition. A $4,000 addition to q
$4,000 house il = curiosity in modern
architecture, but sentiment for the,
past and its illustrious dead inspired
il. There are probably sixty rooms in
both new and old houses. They n
all furnished in modern style and with
considerable elegance. and there is an
air Of aristocracy about the interior
which Garfield did not know in his
home. Although the house is far in
the country il has all the ~convenienccs
Of a city home--in plumbing. gas-fit-
ting and stcam-heating.
A natural gas well has been bored on
the farm. and the yard is kept lighted
day and night The main entrance is
through the old house. In the hall
facing the door is ''Grandma'' Gar
fields old wall-sweep clock. which her
husband brought home just sixty years
ago. 1t is still the standard time Of
that house, and keeps on ticking just
as II did when the President was born.
